From Dickinson College Wiki
Introduction
On Tuesday September 11th, 2001 tragedy struck the country when four commercial airline jets were hijacked by an Al-Qaeda terrorist group. Two of the airliners crashed into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City, causing them to collapse and spreading panic throughout the country. The towers housed over 500 different companies, many of which were the country's leading financial companies. The complex was so extensive, it had it's own zipcode and on any particular weekday more than 50,000 people worked within them. As a result of the attacks on 9/11, approximately 3,000 lives were lost and many more were forever changed. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, shook the US economy as well.
